I've always preferred the reverse switch to be stiff, nothing agravates me more than trying to maneuver a ratchet into position inside a tight spot where i cant reach only to have something bump the lever into the wrong setting, I've had to go as far as wrapping the handle in electrical tape to make it stop.

As an aircraft mechanic, the TRO ratchet shows great promise as a prototype. I think the gears need to be improved upon, namely the arc swing as I need to get into some pretty tight spaces sometimes. If that can be improved upon, I'd strongly consider buying one for my tool box. As a flight mechanic, the weight is also important to me because I need to take my tools on commercial flights and I struggle with leaving tools behind at home because my tool box weighs too much. Like I said, it shows promise, but can be improved upon.

How many tools are you really going to carry with you on a flight? I have a Pelican case with just very basic line mechanic stuff; wrenches, ratchet, sockets, screwdrivers, pliers, plus my headset and bypass pins. It comes in well under the 50 lb weight limit for a checked bag on a commercial flight. All you really need is the basics to comply with the MEL/DMP and get the airplane out. If the plane is really broke, you’re going to call in support, anyway. Remember, we’re here to move ‘em, not to improve ‘em.

Honestly anyone who does repairs should pick up an ender 3 and a few spools of cheep filament and learn to 3d model. I've fixed everything from crock pots to monitor arms to automotive caps and while I could have replaced each of those for 10-40 bucks, the time and utility it offers is immense. Think about it like a lathe, you could get the same utility out of other tools, a mill and drill press come to mind. But it's faster and has a level of accuracy that you couldn't get by using another tool

I've got that exact model (I think) of Snap On and have often wondered what its failure load would be. Now I know! On a handle that long I can't see myself breaking it in a hurry. I bought it on the strength of seeing a friend remove a cylinder head using a Snap On quarter-inch ratchet, which I still think is an impressive feat for anything that small.

@billj5645 11 ай бұрын
I've worked as a professional mechanic. When starting to look at this video I was thinking that some of these ratchets won't be very strong, and there is some difference in the failure loads, but not a lot and even the lowest one at 66 ft-lb would be stronger than what a person should need from a 1/4" drive ratched with a short handle. If you need more torque then get a larger ratchet. I think the most important test for these small ratchets is the back drag test. You will frequently be using a small ratchet on small fasteners that don't offer a lot of resistance. Second most important is how well they work in a tight space because you are likely to be using a ratchet like this in a tight space.

I worked as one awhile too. My problem always was, when you have that bolt that you can't fit your 3/8 flex head onto, that 13mm, and its really tight, so you put on your 1/4 and use an end wrench as an extension. That's been the doom of several of my cheap 1/4 ratchets. My SnapOn has held up so far for 5 years though, and then i know ill always be able to get the drive replaced if i need to. The cheapos i had i don't even remember the brand, but it wasn't one of these.

Pro Tip: You can reduce your ratchet's back drag by applying a SMALL amount of lube to the internals. If your ratchet is old, you can disassemble it, clean it, and LIGHTLY lubricate the internals and it will significantly reduce your back drag. I like a drop or two of ATF. It has a lot of detergent in it and keeps things clean when you go to clean and lube the ratchet in the future. I do this twice a year.
@thomasjefferson1081 6 ай бұрын
Thanks for the comment. As anal as I am about maintaining my vehicles and other stuff, I’ve 100% neglected my ratchets. Back drag is by far the most annoying. Just did iATF on one of my 1/4 “ ratchets and it’s very noticeable. I’ll do it on all of them

Just a dork that drives a desk for a living, but isn't ATF hydroscopic? In that it pulls in moisture? Personally, I've switched most of my liquid "lube once, and forget it" to silicone based products (SuperLube has several) - you can get them from fine machine oils to heavy greases. No VOCs to evaporate that slowly dry the lube out, and they handle really wide temp ranges. If I don't want it trapping grit, I tend to use powders such molybdenum disulfide - yea, expensive, but a little goes a long way. Old school powdered graphite also works wonders.

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:00 🛠️ This video compares 1/4 inch ratchets' performance, including Arc swing, Back Drag, and failure load, among various brands. 01:52 🧰 Ratchets with efficient gear sets result in better working Arc swings within tight spaces. Crescent and Gearwrench 90 stand out in this aspect. 03:03 ⚙️ Back Drag matters for ease of use. Milwaukee, Crescent, and Gearwrench 90 perform well, while Harbor Freight Icon struggles. 04:13 🔄 Smooth directional lever switches enhance usability. Asada, Crescent, and Gearwrench 120 excel in effortless direction change. 06:08 💰 High-priced ratchets, like Nepros and Proto, offer excellent directional lever usability, but the latter is more affordable. 07:32 🧪 Prototype Tro ratchet performs impressively with 3D printed titanium and carbon fiber components, offering both light weight and strength. 08:16 ⛏️ Ratchets' torque resistance varies, with solid drive ratchets (Gearwrench 90, Mac Tools, Proto) demonstrating high torque tolerance. 09:55 📏 Compact ratchet head profiles are crucial for tight spaces. Gearwrench 90, Crescent, and Gearwrench 120 excel in this regard. 11:49 💪 Ratchets with solid drives (Gearwrench 90, Mac Tools, Proto) showcase high torque resistance, while quick-release drives perform differently. 13:27 🛡️ Torque testing reveals Gearwrench 90 as a strong performer, followed by Mac Tools and Proto. 14:36 📜 Each ratchet's strengths and weaknesses are summarized, taking into account factors like price, performance, and build quality.

My first thoughts -- for the ratchets that are serviceable like the Gearwrench, the internal grease can be removed and replaced with superlube which would improve the backdrag. The failure load for all the ratchets seemed more than adequate, so that really makes the backdrag and rotation metrics the only important things to consider IMO. Husky looks like a great value!

I have a Snap-on TLLF72 that I purchased a couple of years ago when they first came out: $99. By far the most I've ever spent on a ratchet, let alone a 1/4" drive ratchet. But, it's by far the most used ratchet I own. I use it for pretty much everything short of lug nuts! Expensive? Yup. But worth every penny.

Until it breaks I had mine fail a couple of times when I was using it daily in shop environment even though I never fitted larger than 10mm (3/8") socket on it Always switched to 3/8" drive for 11 to 17mm, 1/2" up to 36mm and breaker bar after that (or even breaker bar when loosening anything over 26mm - roughly 1")

I like how light that prototype ratchet is and how little force it takes to change direction, but I wonder if it's too light. Sometimes working on things an easy changing ratchet can be an issue when you're trying to loosen/tighten something and it accidentally switches direction while ratcheting. That gets annoying quick when you have to keep switching it back to the direction you're trying to use it in.

I bought an unknown unbranded set of metric 6 point impact sockets about 50 years ago. The 14mm is the only one that shows any wear. (it had a ton of use in 15~20 years) I replaced it with a Snap-On 14mm that was excessively worn and looked about same as original after only 2~3 years. Even though I was working in a shop at the time, I didn't think it was worth the money I paid for it plus, as it was impact, it only had 90 day warranty. Ever since that fiasco, I've bought the cheapest impact sockets I can get as even the 3/8" drive ones seem to work just as well as sockets costing more individually than the several sets I've bought. The only 'problem' I've ever had is 'tool snobs', either co-workers or customers who watch too much TV and see Snap-On toolboxes in movies
